It would be a bad idea to try to put a dirtbike motor in a quad simply because that bike motor is design to handle the lighter weight from the bike. When Honda put the xr400 motor in the 400ex, they had to do lots of re-designing to it to make it so that it would last. What I have seen done is to put a Honda or Kawasaki street bike motor in a quad. Their designed for more weight and to go fast. The motor in the XR600 is made for some fat guy that like to ride his bike in 4th gear while only going 20mph.

4th gear @ 20 mph ??, the xr600/650 motors respond to any mods you would do to any other engine,
when I hit 4th at the track, I'm going 80+, 5th is 115 mph
